When we were planning our trip we decided to make our first stop in Mansfield, Missouri. Big Sister loves the Little House books (she just recently asked John to start reading them to her again), so we wanted to surprise her with a visit to Laura Ingalls Wilder's home. A few weeks ago, I decided to check their website to make sure they were open on Sundays, and I noticed that the community hosts a play about Laura's life in July on Friday and Saturday nights, so we decided to leave by 7:00 on Saturday morning so that we could make it in time for the play.
Our drive up was fairly easy (I-22 is finally open!), until Little Bud had a couple of rounds of motion sickness (not fun!). Thankfully he recovered as soon as we stopped at the campground.
The play/musical is called Laura's Memories, and it's held at a cute little outdoor amphitheater at the local park. It was a fun remembrance of some of the highlights from the Little House books.
Have an awesome time and take it all in! I'm so proud and happy for you guys! Thanks for keeping us posted. PapaJack
